Beaches at the Daintree Rainforest

The beaches of the Daintree Rainforest are rated among the most spectacular in the world. The tropical warmth combined with dazzling sunshine and crystal clear calm water makes you wonder if this is what heaven could be like. One of the most wonderful features of Daintree beaches is the lack of people. Stretching for miles, you can cast your eyes along the golden sand and not see a single soul - except perhaps your soul mate.

The only serious safety concern when swimming at beaches in the Daintree Rainforest area are marine stingers. During the summer months of the year (November to March), the prevalence of jellyfish makes swimming in the ocean dangerous, and even life threatening. Visitors are advised to stay out of the water completely during these times.

Most the beaches in the Daintree region are very similar - golden sand, calm blue water and mostly deserted. They are pristine.

Coconut Beach

This beach is accessed through a resort, but can also be reached slightly further south of the resort from the main road. It is 2 kms south of Cape Tribulation, and has a large reef that lies offshore. The depth of water drops significantly at the edge of the reef, making this a good fishing location.
To the north of the beach is a small creek but visitors are advised not to swim here because there have been reports of crocodiles living in the creek.

Cape Tribulation Beach

Emmagen Beach

Donovans Beach

Noahs Beach

There is a camping ground at Noahs Beach, which is frequently occupied. A self-registration booth is located at the entrance to the park, and guests must complete a permit form a pay a small fee to the collection box. Rangers do make periodic trips to the park to check that visitors are using the facilities in an orderly manner.
